 * Hi,
 * I would like to ask if I would like change the domain name of my current wordpress
   site, how do I go about doing it?
 * Do I clone or migrate or are they the same? Will the wordpress be the same and
   when will it be safe for me to delete my old site and how do I connect the new
   site to wordpress?
 * Thank you all in advance!
